PC:
Kinecha�s first impulse was to get as far away from the Rhryns as possible, which is why she ended up at a Hold on Ista Isle, though she quickly found two major flaws with the place. One, Kinecha is gay, which holders have a hard time accepting, and two, the climate was far too hot for someone born and bred in the mountains of the North. So, after only a couple of months hiding out in the South, Kinecha trekked north again. To High Reaches Weyr, where she was sure no Rhrynian would come looking for her, since they had always had a deep seeded resentment and distrust of dragonriders, and anything associated with those. So she�d be safe at a Weyr.
Kinecha quickly settled in, though at first she had trouble trusting anyone, and said nothing about her past. Though she wouldn�t admit to it, some of her upbringing still lingered in her personality, and trusting people was hard for her. Some time later, Candidates for Impression started filing into the Weyr, and one of them suggested to Kinecha that she would be an excellent guard. A notion that had never crossed her mind, in spite of her size and physique. She took the advise, though, and reported to the Guards headquarters the very next day, recruiting herself and joining the High Reaches Weyr Guard.
Kinecha came to think of the Weyr as home soon after settling there. The friendly people of the place made her open up, made her feel safe, made her feel as if she had a home, for the first time in her life. So when her uncle, Ranawkin, showed up, looking for her, she was shocked and terrified.
�Nobody leaves," he said. Not alive anyway. Not from the Rhryn band. So, as things turned out, Ranawkin and Kinecha got into a knife fight, which Kinecha won with the help of her new-found friends of the Weyr. Neither Ranawkin or any other belonging to the Rhryn band has ever been seen in the Weyr since.
After that incident, Kinecha knew that High Reaches Weyr, its residents, riders and dragons were her family, and that nothing, or no one, could make her leave. In the two turns of living at the Weyr, she has found her true family, a replacement �father� and a girlfriend.
As time went by, and Kinecha and her girlfriend drifted further and further apart, ending up with a bad break, leaving the guard doing her best to avoid the woman, and being rather nasty toward her whenever their paths crossed.
Then one day, Salea came to Necha to ask advice on how to dye her brown�s ridingstraps, wanting them to be camouflage colored. And since Necha was a guard, she must know about camouflage, right? Going into the Bowl to inspect Fallanth�s straps, the brown suddenly became very possessive, not wanting to let the guard go until she agreed to Stand for Cadgwith�s clutch. With much persuasion, Necha finally agreed and was shown to the Candidates� Barracks, and given a white knot to wear instead of the blue-black guards� knot. Then one day, the dragons started humming, the eggs started to crack, and Necha and the other Candidates were herded out onto the Sands to greet the Hatching dragonets. Before she knew what was happening, a brown dragonet headed straight for her, and Mneoth and her were bonded for life.
